1.20pm An abject batting performance from Sri Lanka after winning an important toss. 84 for 5 at lunch has turned into 117. Not much to talk about from a Sri Lankan batting perspective. Nathan Lyon used his wiles to prise out three quick wickets after lunch. The ball is turning quite a bit though. SL have to believe.

O'Keefe to Pradeep, OUT, and gone! SL bowled out for 117. Very slow outside off, so much flight. Pradeep lays his bat down in the line but the ball spins away just enough to take the outside edge. Smith takes a dolly at slip.
